Well, you have to be careful about PETA, sometimes they'll exaggerate something a little bit to elicit more sympathy.
I'm not even a vegetarian, but I think the seafood industry is messed up a bit. First of all, I hate the taste of like 99% of seafood b/c to me, it all tastes fishy no matter what it is, and then I'm thinking of the fish or whatever it is when it's in my mouth and I taste that horrible sea-foody taste....and I ust can't eat this stuff. Too bad for me that its so healthy. And lobsters....thats like the numero uno worst way to go. Whenever my family goes to red lobster, I just want to grab one of those poor lobsters from the tank (aka death row) and run home with it, and keep it as a pet until some aquarium can come take it for me. *shudders* Wt-heck, they scream as in vocalize?? Sick.
I hate how dolphins and other victims have to die because we're trying to get some food......whenever I hear stories about dolphins getting caught in the tuna nets, it makes me so mad. And then I heard that back in the advent of canned tuna, there actually used to be dolphin meat mixed in with the tuna. Dolphins are my favorite, I went to Discovery Cove, and after going there, I can't imagine those wonderful animals being unnessacarily harmed.
I went on a field trip in elementary school to a rainbow trout fish hatchery.....it was almost macarbre (sp?). It's cruel. The fish in the ground that visitors can feed are so packed, that when they get all excited and all try to scramble for food at once, they have to jump out of the water to move, and one time, one of them nearly missed the water b/c it landed on another fish that was pushed all the way to the top. The jumper fish had to wriggle around to find a free space to get back into.....
There was one fish that obviously managed to beach itself, and some crows (which can't help it, I know) were standing there eating it.
This place also had some above ground, mile-long huge tank thing that I don't remember what they said it was for. The fish in there were packed worse than the ones in the "trenches" in the ground. It was a solid mass of fish, possibly more rainbow trout than water.
Well, I've said everything I wanted to say, so....
thats all folks!
